The Latest: Rockets Adding Youth To CP3 Trade Package

PrintFive hours later, we still have no trade. Developments are emerging here and there, but as for anything concrete? Nope. Not yet.
Let's address the developments. As expected, Houston will be adding the youth to any Chris Paul/Pau Gasol deal with New Orleans and Los Angeles, according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger:
Now appears Lakers will keep Devin Ebanks, and that additional young talent to New Orleans will be coming from the Rockets, sources confirm.
Consider this your new forum for discussion. We're trying to keep things as glitch-free as possible around here, understandably.
As for the deal itself? Wait and see. No reason to rush to judgment just yet, but speculation suggests that Patrick Patterson or Jordan Hill could be involved. I'm cool with Hill leaving, but as I've said before, if Patterson goes, I'll be in limbo.
Again, the youth will come in addition to the players named before (Martin, Scola, Dragic). That's what the reports say, though to be honest, how many reports involving the Rockets have preceded a second report with contrasting, alternate or supplemental information? Again, wait and see.
As for the time delay and additional restructuring? It could be rooted in Houston's interest to clear more cap space in order to sign Nene. Perhaps they're asking the Lakers to take on some extra players, as we all know New Orleans is looking to come out of this with as little money on the books as possible.
To sign Nene, the Rockets will need to overpay. That's just the reality of it. New Jersey will reportedly up their offer to the Brazilian to as much as $70 million over four years. This Gasol deal is far more sweet than sour as long as Nene is on board, so Les Alexander doesn't have much of a choice. He's going to have to give Nene whatever he wants. Thankfully, Dwight Howard wants to go to New Jersey, so perhaps Houston will have less competition.
As for Morey, this is quickly becoming his legacy-cementing deal. How far will Morey go to get his guy? How far is too far?
One thing is for certain: If what we've been told is true, this deal is no longer about Chris Paul. The Rockets are only doing this for Gasol, so it's fair to say that whatever they are giving up is strictly to land Gasol. If people thought David Stern shut this trade down to screw with Paul, that's a null point. Clearly, he's actually attempting to get New Orleans as much out of the deal as possible. And right now, aside from an aging Lamar Odom, it's all coming from Houston.

Lakers had been searching for deal in past day to obtain a first-round pick to send New Orleans as part of Chris Paul package, sources say.

Howard requested a trade to the Nets, he is not there yet.

If you could always find guys like that, you would never have a bust. He has shown potential and hasnt gotten a chance to really show what he can do. Hill is fine, but Pat should be a dealbreaker.

I'm willing to bet
that this deal falls apart now that Dwight Howard has said that he wants to go to the Nets. I think the Lakers will pull out.
I think they would still want Chris Paul
So I doubt they would pull out. After the damage Stern did I would be surprised if any team keeps the players that were involved in the trades.

Well, part of the reason it was vetoed was that they were getting rid of too much $
That might be why they aren’t sending more players. Just speculation though.
I wouldnt put in Bud or D Monte
Hill, t Will, Parsons yeah.
Did you know Eric Berry was asexually produced by Chuck Norris?
Yeah
If these deal does go down, and we sign Nene, were gonna need him at the 3.

The more I hear about this deal, the less I like it
I understand Martin/Scola/Dragic/Draft pick, I’m even ok with Hill or Bud getting thrown in there with possibly Thabeet being moved for good measure, but the young talent of our team has been the focus of things now. That’s why we brought in a youth-friendly coach like McHale. Trading away a solid part of that youth seems foolish to me

I wasn’t implying trying to pull a fast one, my point was that we are at our best offer, and we can change some pieces if they want, but they can’t just add new players to sweeten the pot. If they want Dragic AND Patterson, walk, and let Stern and Co. deal with the media shitstorm now, and a renewed shitstorm when Paul walks for nothing, or is traded for a lump of a coal and a trade exception.

Ok, I know everyone here (including I) loves P2 and Lee.
But we’re talking about getting one of the best 4 and 5 combinations in the league. Gun to your head, lose P2 or Lee and get Nene and Gasol, or just walk and stay with Scola and Martin?
It just seems like we're losing the most in this trade and getting the least
ignoring the possibility of Nene, it’s a lot from the Rox while LA and NOLA just sit around on their asses and Stern on his throne of lies

Walk away
Because I don’t buy we can contend with that little depth. The reason we’ve been (barely) a winning team is that we have fantastic depth—if we throw that much of it away there is not a lineup for Gasol/Nene to even anchor.

Lets see
PG: Lowry/ Flyn
SG: Lee/??
SF: Bud/twill
PF: Pau/morris/hill
C: Nene or dalembare/hill

PG: Lowry/ Flyn
SG: Lee/J Taylor
SF: Bud/twill/morris (I think he has what it takes)

I wouldnt be surprised. Judging from what I have seen of him, I think he can pull off the 3 if that is emphasized in practice. As MadMartygan said, it will all be about matchups.

I have faith in Bud
I think he will do well in the league, initially I see Parsons as maybe similar to him and who knows Morris could be better than him. I could be wrong but I dont see him as our long term starter, if he makes it or not I will be rooting for him.

I’ve already come to terms with Scola and K-Mart leaving. Losing Patterson or Lee is going to suck, but in the end, Gasol and Nene make the Rockets better. Indisputable.

Gasol is a ZERO!
The guy quit on Memphis and pouted until they traded him because he wanted to play on a Championship team. You could see him pout and “disappear” in Lakers games at times when things weren’t going well. When the Rockets lose, and they will with the new roster, and Gasol realizes they can’t win a championship, he’ll pout and become a poison on the team. They’ll trade him cheap to get rid of the poison. HORRIBLE trade for Houston.

just gets a rebound and taps it back in??? If you’re a Laker fan, you’re taking that facet of his game for granted. Our current front court would struggle vs inner city houston high school basketball teams. Gasol, with direction of McHale, is our guy.
If you can feel them, they are real.
I got to be honest.
I’m scared of this trade because Gasol has stated over and over during the past two days that he does not want to come here.

No one knows the final deal and as it stands and where we are right now we have no one who is legitimately a franchise guy. There’s way too much in the air but anyone acting like Pau Gasol is washed up (Let’s call them… morons?) is not being serious. Anyone who thinks we won’t get any form of compensation for having to sweeten this deal to the point that it’d give a vegan diabetes (Let’s call them, unrealistic?) come back down to reality. I also find it funny that people here make a stink about Pau might not be enthusiastic to to come to Houston neglect the fact that Martin is spreading his displeasure in the public eye.

I've been checking Twitter and seeing a lot of chicken littles.
It’s like people spazzing because a Bill is proposed to the House. There are no guarantees and the average person has no clue what’s in the 800 page proposal yet people will freak out and convince themselves they’re experts. I have no doubt we will get better as a result of whatever trade we do. The Lakers, by reports, are looking to pick up additional first rounders and we’re asinine if we think the Rockets are going to step up the offer for purely Gasol. The NBA upped the ante which means we’re going to have to see plenty of players moving around.
I think what we have right now is straight up panic mode in a fanbase that is over-valuing who they have and not bothering to divorce themselves from the situation and think.

Yeah I don’t think Thabeet has a real future here, but when you amnesty somebody do you pay like half the contract or what?
It depends. All the teams under the cap have the opportunity to submit a bid of how much of the contract they would be willing to pay to have the player. Whoever bids the most gets the player for that amount, with the team that amnestied him paying the rest.
So for example, the Magic amnestied Arenas and will likely be paying most, if not all, of that contract, as nobody is going to offer much for Arenas. If they had amnestied Howard they probably wouldn’t pay him anything, as every team under the cap would be willing to pay that entire salary.

by RiiseRockets on Dec 10, 2011 7:46 PM CST up reply actions
What he's saying is
The Cap is 58M say we’re sitting at 57M (Which we’re not)
We can sign a player to up to a 2.5M dollar contract and allow us to go over the cap, this is using “MLE Money”
If we weren’t using “MLE Money” we can’t sign Free Agent X for more than 1M because we’d be over the cap.
This is my understanding.
I thought that if you were under the cap, you got the whole midlevel, even if it took you over. And if you were over the cap, you then only got the partial. I remember reading something talking about how it was weird that if a team was at 57 mil, they could sign free agents up to 62 mil, but if they were at 58.5, they could only sign up to 61 mil or whatever the partial midlevel is.
by seanbergmanrules on Dec 10, 2011 7:54 PM CST up reply actions
You can choose to have the full exception or not
If you’re like $4 million under the cap, you can use the full $5 million exception, but you can’t sign somebody first and then use it. If you wanted, you could sign somebody for $4 million, then use the partial exception and sign someone for 2.5.

They’re about 16 mil under the cap right now, and trading Paul clears about 16 more. Odom (8.9), Character (0.8) Scola (8.6), Martin (12), Dragic (2.1) basically puts them right at the cap. You’re allowed to take back more than you give in a trade, but I don’t know if that would allow them to go over the cap, as they are only trading away 16 in this scenario.

Seems like a desperation move
so that the lakers don’t have to give up anything more, or maybe acquire a power forward.

not really.
Pretty sure there just trying to get younger talent to make the deal alittle bit better.
No one can come close to what we can offer.

But heart doesn’t create match up problems for other teams at the PF spot.

I was thinking earlier
about a scenario where Scola ends up on the Lakers…the first thing Scola should do, is set a dirty screen on Derek Fisher in practice.

If Scola and Fisher are ever teammates
I quit.
